Muggsy Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 (edited) Redskins' Portis leaves with shoulder injury NFL.com wire reports CINCINNATI (Aug. 13, 2006) -- Running back Clinton Portis partially dislocated his left shoulder during Washington's opening series of the preseason, a significant setback for the Redskins' revamped offense. An MRI test detected the injury, which involves the bone popping out of place temporarily in the shoulder socket. Standard treatment involves rest and strengthening exercises. There was no immediate indication how long he will be sidelined. This is the sort of injury that can nag all season. Does this affect his value in seasonal re-draft lagues?

Does this affect his value in seasonal re-draft lagues? it does for me. all injuries matter. i would drop him a few notches. if he drops too far, then he could become a nice bargain. still very early on this injury and we will all have to watch the reports to understand the full extent of the impact.

NAUgrad Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 This is a huge problem IMO. The shoulders are what take most of the beating. I'm not sure how long this is going to take to heal, but I imagine he starts the season and it is an issue the entire year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donutrun Jellies Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 I picked him with #6 three hours prior to the injury, thinking I'd gotten a steal. Worried? Oh yeah baby. Now I'm praying he comes back to get me into the playoffs -- where I'd begun to think about dominating! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpinalTapp Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 He played with an injured shoulder for a large part of the season last year. If you remember, he missed a lot of the Seahawk game in the playoffs because of it. I am not sure it is the same shoulder, but it will impact his time on the field if it is sore all season. Question is...how far should he drop in the rankings. I would drop him from #4-6 to somewhere #9-12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
